More file as ballots final

Nine contests in May 29 primaries, seven for November

The Milam County ballot for the long-delayed May 29 primaries is finally set.

There were three more “lastminute” filings in the Republican Primary before the Friday deadline, according to County Chair Bill Whitmire, who said one candidate who had previously filed has now dropped out.

That means there will be nine contested races in the two Milam Count y primaries and seven Republican-Democrat races on the general election ballot in November.

Three GOP candidates filed during the past two days for the office of Precinct 2 Constable.

They are Jay Willingham of Milano, Roy Baggerly of Gause and Carol Wells of Rockdale.

Randy Rodiguez of Cameron, as expected, filed for Precinct 1 constable. Rodriguez had announced his candidacy earlier this year.

Whitmire said Odes Foster, who had previously filed for Precinct 3 commissioner, has withdrawn from the race.
